I just don't see that helping animals
- and providing them with HUMAN luxuries
- like extremely expensive health care
- or "sports" programs
- or "rescue" programs
- or day care
- etc.
when similar needs of innocent people are neglected
is
"a good cause".
So none of us can enjoy any dog or horse sports, or keep our animals healthy or save any that have been abandoned... or take care of our own, until all children are cared for. Veterinary science has no value, we should spend no money keeping our pets and livestock alive and healthy.
I am surprised you are on a conservative website. Telling people all their money should go to the children, other people's children, and they are wrong to spend their own money any way that brings them happiness, is a socialist attitude. I know you have some axe to grind about some relative of yours who has found a calling in critters. You ~resent~ that she hasn't adopted a bunch of children. She didn't ~want~ a bunch of children.
We have loves and hobbies. Some people buy sailboats, some horses some dogs. All hobbies cost money and save no children.... You are going to be very busy if you are consistent in trying to guilt every unnecessary purchase that doesn't save a child.
